Andreas05 WordPress Theme

A year ago I came across Andreas Viklund’s Andreas05 Open Source Template on OSWD.org, Yesterday I found this template when I was digging through my old collection of CDs and DVDs. This template really impressed me, But unfortunately Andreas05 wasn’t available for WordPress, So I decide to port it myself.

Andreas05 is a Simplicity! No advanced features, no effects. Just a really simple, customizable design, widget ready and SEO Friendly theme for WordPress. Great for personal weblogs.

Demo: You can see this theme in action here

How to Install:

  1. Download Andreas05.zip
  2. Unzip it and upload it to /wp-content/themes/
  3. Activate it from your WP Admin Panel

Download Andreas05 for WordPress

If your a newbie, I suggest you to refer this page before install this theme. I’ve tested this theme on IE, Firefox, Flock and Konqueror. I haven’t tested it on Opera and Safari, so if you come across any bugs, please inform it to me. Anybody willing to localize this theme ??

 

Changes Log:

13/9/2006 – Updated the Theme to make it more SEO Friendly, Now Content Loads Before Sidebars.

14/9/2006 – Uploaded the theme to WordPress Community Theme Viewer 

To Do:

  • Design a Right Columned Version on this Theme

All the credits must go to Andreas Viklund because it was he who originally designed it.

Thanks: Andreas Viklund, Tech-Scope, Sindhu Sundar

    In opera the content text size looks small and also the links (no top padding thilak?)

    And the font size of the title of each post is also uhmm not so nice, not bold i can say. rest everything looks fine! :)

    good work, dittu.

    I was just testing different color schemes with my ads, just to get the most out of my traffic

    A great effort but I don’t think this theme is excellent for SEO. Hope that you make a right column version for this theme.

    Tech-Scope.com: Thanks for your inputs, I’ll design a Right Columned Variant of this theme. I’ll also try to make the theme more SEO friendly by placing content before sidebars.

    Left Columned themes aren’t always BAD. It depends on how the page loads, Now take TechBuzz’s Theme for example, its SEO Friendly because sidebars come after the main content.

    The SEO Friendly points are helpful. I have been thinking about changing mine around as well.

    This theme is one that really stroke a chord with me.
    Thank Andreas for the design, Thilak for making it possible

    Hello,

    I’d love to use this theme on my WordPress blog! I’m so glad that you ported it to WP! I can’t find it at the above link, though, due to site restructuring. Is there anywhere else online I can download this theme.

    Please advise, thank you!
